We're in a fight for
our lives. Or at the very least a way of life. The
crackdown on immigrants and refugees is not merely
about xenophobia, it's the set-up for a full-on
police state. ICE
raids with the infamous Nazi refrain "You
have your papers?" exploit vulnerable populations
as preamble to curtailing the civil liberties of
all Americans. What's especially chilling is that
many being targeted are here legally,
further proving we are in lawless times with an
authoritarian regime testing the limits of what it
can get away with. At this #freedaniel
rally at the federal courthouse in Seattle, the
city council's Kshama Sawant
warned of plans
to mobilize the national guard to conduct
sweeps. How is that not martial law? Today they
come for "the other," tomorrow it could be you on
whatever pretense. Please get active and do what
you can to stop this slide into fascism. The life
you save could be your own.
